Proceeding contribution from David Winnick (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 February 2008. It occurred during Debate and Debate on treaty on Lisbon Treaty (No. 3).


Lisbon Treaty (No. 3)

To recognise the advances that have undoubtedly been made in human rights in many parts of Europe, we need only compare the situation now to that 70 years ago. Would my right hon. Friend take the opportunity not to allow history to be rewritten? Hungary and Poland, in particular, pre-war, were deeply flawed, authoritarian states. They were disgusting states.
